It's been an eventful day. I managed to track Dorn down, thanks to a new friend I made after I helped him chase out some scavs and restore power to his settlement. He pulled through, no hidden strings attached. Felt like a breath of fresh air, really, to not have someone fuck you over for once.
All I got was an audience with Dorn, though. He did not want to work with me unless I did something for him first. Strange man with a strange request. I'm used to this by now, of course. These people are the best at what they do and they know it, so they always ask for something, and money is rarely it. No, they want something rare, or something nobody else will do. I will admit that I do respect it, though. Quid pro quo, as they say.
As for his request, Dorn wants 25 occupied escape pods. I heard he was strange, but this almost makes me uncomfortable. I've killed people, sure, but this is different. It makes me wonder what sort of sick shit he wants these people for if he wants them alive. But beggars can't be choosers, and I do want his services, so I better just get it over with. He didn't specify who he wanted in these escape pods, just that they had to be occupied, so at least I can fill them with all sorts of scum of my choosing.
I could find more raiders. Or maybe give the Colonia Council even more reason to hate me. Haven't quite decided yet. In any case, looks like I'll need to get my hands on a combat ship again.
Comrey out.
